Reducing Crosstalk
Crosstalk occurs if a signal with steep edges runs close to a high
impedance analog signal. The main reason for crosstalk is inductive
coupling. It can be reduced by the following measures:
n Twist each signal line with its return line (ground).
n Never twist two signal lines.
n Separate digital and analog signal lines. Keep fast‑changing signals
far away from analog inputs.
n Avoid connecting high‑impedance sources to the inputs of the
dSPACE boards.
n If you use multiconductor cables, the individual twisted pairs
should be shielded.
n You should also note the advice in Wiring Up External Devices
on page 200.
